Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party Quote
Dinesh D'Souza: [about Ida B. Wells]She made the remarkable statement that what blacks actually needed was Second Amendment rights.
Carol Swain: Throughout the south when they passed the Black Codes, they put in provisions that if you were black, you couldn't own a gun. So that means that the KKK rises up into your yard, you don't have anything to defend yourself with. So the Second Amendment was very important to blacks. It was something that she championed because she knew as long as they were unarmed, they would be prey to white racists.
Dinesh D'Souza: You're saying that early Democrat efforts to have gun control had a racist motive?
Carol Swain: Yes, almost everything they did had a racist motive.
